Cool, elegant, and romantic, you can't miss out on French nails as a fashionista.
When it comes to French manicure, we can't help but think of those French girls who seem to be the incarnation of sexy stunners by nature. The intelligence and atmosphere exuding from their gestures also make people fascinated and unable to extricate themselves.
French manicure has always been recognized as a hit style in the nail industry. From the white space distribution of color blocks to the design effect of the overall nail surface, French nails always give off a sense of luxury and style.
In the early 1970s, Orly founder Jeff Pink was chatting with friends in the film industry and learned that actresses needed to change the color of their nails according to different styles of clothing, which was cumbersome and time-consuming.
So he came up with a new style of manicure that uses white nail polish to draw a smile-like arc on the front of the nail. In this way, the simple, elegant and versatile "French Manicure" has swept the entire fashion industry and has become the "international language" of beauty-loving women around the world today.
As there are more and more derivatives of French style, we divide the types into more detailed categories, and here are 8 hottest French nail designs that are anything but basic:
8 hottest French nail designs
1. Straight French nails
The name of the straight French style is derived from the fact that the border of its "smile line" is straight, and the flat lines make the nails look more orderly and regular.
2. Angled French nails
The angled French pattern is not much different from the "straight French pattern". It is also named after the line drawing of the smile line, but from a visual point of view, it has the effect of lengthening the lines of the hands.
3. V-shaped French nails
Although the V shape seems sharp and gives people a sense of distance, perhaps because "distance produces beauty", it makes people feel inexplicable curiosity.
4. Layered French nails
The layered French style uses the French color blocks above and below the nails as the visual focus, and sandwiches the base color of the atmosphere. A variety of rich layers can also be presented with the simplest color matching method.
5. Circle French nails
Compared with the classic French manicure, the circle French style smile line has a round and full arc, which makes it feel softer, more playful and lovely.
Most people like to leave the base blank or use solid color bases. The nail surface is clean and simple. With various decorative elements, it will become the highlight of the fingertips!
6. Double French nails
The double French style is to draw two or more colors along the smile line of the fingertips. Changeable colors can create different styles.
7. Reverse French nails
Reverse-French is a popular candidate in French nails, because it elongates the fingers. Because the reverse-French will be left blank at the crescent of the nail bed, and the empty position will be integrated with the color of the finger, it visually prolongs the nail length.
8. Gradient French nails & Metallic French nail tips
Gradient French integrates gradients with French elements, which can make the gradient colors more transparent and natural.
The white part at the root of the nail makes it more glossy, and the Metallic French tip on the edge of the nail can also make the overall shape more delicate and sophisticated.
Sophisticated and romantic French manicure, don't hesitate if you like it.
